+ upgrade option

We are excited to announce a BLONDE REDHEAD tour in support of their upcoming album Penny Sparkle (9/14, 4AD). The tour begins in mid-October in Philadelphia, PA and will continue through to early December. The most recent extensive Blonde Redhead tour was three years ago, and their live shows are always mind-blowing. Penny Sparkle is the band’s third album for 4AD and marks another sonic twist in their already adventurous canon. It was made over the last year with the band journeying between New York and Stockholm to work with production duo Van Rivers and The Subliminal Kid (Fever Ray, Massive Attack).

Opening the first half of the tour will be renowned German electronic musician and producer Pantha Du Prince. His most recent album, Black Noise, was released by Rough Trade records earlier this year to rave reviews. Pantha Du Prince fuses house, techno, shoegazy electronica and psychedelic electro-acoustic soundscapes into music that is at once both beautiful and bewitching.

There will be a pre-sale for many of the shows, and please see the link for more details. The pre-sale password is “Sparkle” and the sales will launch 48 hours prior to a given city’s general on-sale date.
